Ken Jennings Finds the Biggest Waterfall in the World When cold-water basins pour into slightly warmer ones, their water plunges straight down, just like at Niagara—only slightly slower, much more quietly and almost invisibly, since it all happens underwater. The world’s biggest underwater waterfall is located in the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland. Arctic water from the Greenland Sea drops precipitously into the depths of the (slightly less chilly) Irminger Sea. The amazing thing about the Denmark Strait cataract is that it dwarfs anything you’d see above the waves.
